We found this guy locally today. He's beautiful, but the problem is us nor the store that has him knows what he is yet. We told the store we want it 100% and he is calling us with a price as soon as we/he find out some info on the morph. Please help us out!!

This is clearly an Enigma; he has the horseshoe pattern on his head and the typical body markings. Does he express the Enigma syndrome at all?

What throws me off are the eyes. Looks like he has black/white snake eyes. That would make it an Eclipse. Can't be a Bell Albino if the eyes aren't red; must be Tremper. So a snake-eyed Raptor Enigma??? I can only guess. Hope you get some more responses. That's a beautiful gecko for sure. :main_thumbsup:

Do both eyes look like this? They might be ordinary Enigma eyes, but I think they look Eclipse.

That must be a good store if it has such beautiful animals. Hope you get a good price.

Both eyes are half black, half greyish/white crackle look. They just got him in today and hadnt even put him on the floor yet and we spotted him. & Yes, it would be coming from one of the most reputable shops in the area, Pinellas County Reptiles.

Nice animal. They have some nice ones there. Enigmas can show the syndrome at any time and tend to show more when under stress (like getting a new home) just so you dont freak out if you get it home and it starts showing symptoms. Good grab!

Can enigmas have snake eyes?? Chrissy my first thought was tremper albino but it definitly look enigma! Nice looking leo for a store lizard tho! Im also interested in what others say!!

Can the manager contact the place he got the leo from to find out the genetics? If no then you will never really know 100%

I believe that is what he is doing. I have to call back tomorrow and find out what he finds.. it came from a local breeder and they don't like to give out names of their local breeders which in this economy is understandable.
